The document discusses the development of an open standard format for exchanging open floor plans and building information. It proposes identifying relevant stakeholders and existing standards that could be leveraged. Key steps include examining OGC and other standards, identifying missing pieces, signing agreements with standards bodies, and developing a standard hierarchy and information delivery manual. The goal is to consolidate accomplishments and partner with owners, vendors and developers to submit a proposal and testbed for an open exchange format.

7. Using BIM for Indoor Navigation and Routing
3D circulation rules are
implemented as a route graph
that defines all paths within the
building going through space that
can be used for through
circulation. Distances traversed,
the types and security of spaces
in the traversal path, and other
conditions can be used to define
allowable and illegal circulation
paths. On a 6-story courthouse,
approximately
27,000 routes were tested using
312 circulation rules in
approximately
15 seconds.

16. 7 Challenges
1. Although the work is justified, clear articulation is missing.
2. Relationship to other research and development efforts needs more
explanation - particularly tracking and locator studies.
3. Differentiation from other work is missing. What unique contribution will
the project add to the existing body of knowledge?
4. The study design is too open ended, not tied to specific deliverables yet.
5. More definition is needed on the technical approach. How will goals be
accomplished? What methods and strategies will be used for data
collection, analysis, etc.?
6. Institutional commitment from stakeholders needs to be more obvious
both vertically and horizontally.
7. The means for collaboration needs to be explained to research and
development communities, hardware/software vendors, and end users.
17. 10 Steps
1. Identify Owners who could benefit from the use of an open format to
exchange open floor plans and all the semantic information that can be
packed into their XML schemas.
2. Identify which OGC standards can be used, focusing on CityGML and
others in the handout.
3. Closely examine these OGC standards with contract documents and
maintenance agreements about sensors and certain properties of building
materials using the new Omniclass Table 49 Properties and 11-14 Facility
and Space types to add structure.
4. Look at OASIS, W3, ISO standards and functional open data models to
identify what can be used already versus the missing pieces that need to be
worked on by bSa (standard colors, basic wall types, essential property sets).
5. Sign project specific MOUs with bSa, OASIS EM TC, IFD, NIEM and
associated international efforts, Insurance Associations, NEMA, CSI, AIA,
NIBS, and A/Es in the Large Firm Round Table like Cannon Design.
18. 10 Steps (Continued)
6. Work with the bSa Open Floor Plan project committee on a standard
hierarchy for buildings and Information Delivery Manual (IDM) using cross
references in the Veterans Administration (VA) BIM Guide. Look at the
Spatial Program Validation and other Model View Definitions
(MVDs). Collaborate with original IDM and MVD authors to ensure the
components and relationships will work backwards and forewards.
7. Consolidate what has been accomplished so far and write out again more
clearly - what Owners needs are, what is in place already versus bridges that
need to be built, and a strategy to partner with vendors and developers.
8. Talk with US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) about
what needs to be certified; and Google regarding Scalable Vector Graphics
(SVG) and Building Maker in 3D Warehouse.
9. Submit a proposal to OGC members that can benefit from a unified effort.
10. Hold an OGC testbed with the range of vendors and services that need to
be involved. Work the results into proper form for open exchange models.
